About
How to Invest Money (1908) is a rare, practical investing masterclass from the early 20th century, written by George Garr Henry, Vice President of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York. In a time when more ordinary business people were suddenly finding themselves with surplus cash to protect, Henry sets out to do something refreshingly modern: give you a clear framework for judging investments, not by hype or headlines, but by disciplined principles you can apply again and again. This audiobook distils the thinking of a working investment banker into plain guidance that still feels strikingly relevant, especially if you care about capital preservation, sensible income, and avoiding the traps that catch confident beginners.
Henry builds a simple decision system around the real questions investors must answer: How safe is the principal, what income does it generate, how easily can it be converted to cash, what is the prospect of intrinsic improvement, and how stable is the market price? From there, he shows how to match securities to actual needs, including the crucial difference between money set aside as a business reserve fund and money invested for private income.
